Coral reefs are considered the marine ecosystems of greatest biological, ecological, and even cultural value (Spalding et al. 2017). They are also the most vulnerable to, and threatened by, the effects of climate change and other stressors, both natural and anthropogenic (Pandolfi et al. 2003), which has led to a global trend of accelerated loss of coral reefs (González-Rivero et al. 2026) and of the services they provide to us (Eddy et al. 2021).
